Bumbledoo Training Pants Review & $10 Gift Certificate Giveaway (CLOSED 10/20)

While my daughter was interested in the potty at 16 months, my son is definitely not!  Even so, I'm interested in training pants, and I know lots of you are too!  Bumbledoo sent me a pair of teeny tiny adorable Bumble Training Pants. 

From Bumbledoo:

Size 6 and up are custom orders. Please email with measurements.

They have a PUL outer to contain mess and come in side snapping (what I received), adjustable snap, stuffable and pull up styles.  I received the size 1.

The trainers have a suedecloth inner and a soaker made of 4 layers of zorb.



Above  is the trainer measured folded and stretched.  It seems "smaller" than the diapers my son is wearing, but really, it just has more of an underwear style cut.

Trainer vs Medium O/S Diapers

I had intended to just try the trainer on him for now, but with all the absorbency, I ended up using as a diaper (I just checked it a little early, just in case!)  It was nice because it was super easy to put on him.




In these photos he is about 18.5 pounds, 30" at 16 months old.  It fit him well and he definitely has lots of room to grow into it too!

Bumbledoo also makes (deep breath!): bumble all-in-two diapers, prefolds, diaper covers, pocket diapers, swim diapers, burp cloth prefolds (I love these!), inserts, wipes, organizers, booties (oh I wish I had a little girl to put those on!!) toddler aprons, mama cloth, nursing covers, nursing pads and offers diaper repair and embroidery.  Whew.  I'm wondering if there is anything she doesn't do!

Giveaway: Bumbledoo is offering a blog reader $10 towards anything in the Bumbledoo Web Store  OR Bumbledoo's Etsy Shop.  Yes, the trainers are handmade by WAHM Malia!  Very hard to believe based on the quality and craftsmanship, but it's true!
